ATLANTA'S LOCAL FOOD BASELINE REPORT2017 VOL.1

We are delighted to share Atlanta’s Local Food Baseline Report with you— a collaborative effort with more than 30 of our organizational partners! This report is the first of its kind to capture the current state of our city's local food system, and to understand its impact on our urban communities.

The report focuses on four core areas where local food benefits the community: economic development, community vitality, health and nutrition, and environmental stewardship. This report is just one way of telling the big story about our city's local food by showing a picture of where we are today. We invite you to join us in creating the roadmap and story of the future together.

Join us in spreading the word to your supporters on social media!

Our urban growers, compost experts, educators and community organizers are some of our city’s greatest leaders who are paving the way for a more resilient local food system through their commitment to locally-grown food.

The creation of Food Well Alliance was made possible through funding from our founding benefactor, the James M. Cox Foundation and through the vision of Jim Kennedy and Bill Bolling. Together, they saw an opportunity to connect members of Atlanta’s local food movement to collectively build a healthier community. Food Well Alliance exists to bring this vision to life.
